Clamcleats Ltd launches countersink and base insulators

Clamcleats Ltd has launched a range of countersinks and base insulators for its aluminum cleats. Electrolytic de-composition has always been a problem since the introduction of composite masts and spars. This slowly damages the aluminum or carbon unless barrier paste, adhesive or a thin layer of plastic is used to keep the dissimilar compounds apart, which is always messy and time consuming. This has been eliminated by the introduction of our new countersinks and base plate, all of which are available in 3 sizes. PT424&25 are for No4/3mm countersink (flathead) fixings and are now available. These are used on our Micros cleats: CL268, CL270, CL277 and CL278. PT420&21 are for No8/4mm countersink (flathead) fixings and the full range of Mk2 cleats. Available soon. PT422&23 are for No10/5mm countersink (flathead) fixings and the full range of Mk1 cleats. Available soon. Whether you are a spar or component manufacturer, boat builder or just adding a new cleat to your rig, it’s an attractive, hassle free solution to ensure the life of your standing rigging is maintained.
